These are my notes from initial bringup.

As previously described, I had replaced the fans in my UniFi US-16-XG, but until today I had not put in any low noise adapters (LNA).
That changed today, I added two LNA NA-RC10 (8.3 m³/h, 12.2 dbA) because the switch is still the most noisy piece of equipment in my homelab.

After upgrading the memory of my ASUS PN50 to 64 Gib, it was installed as an OpenShift Container Platform (OCP4) worker node.
This is my braindump of using virt-resize
to migrate 3 OpenShift 4 master VMs’ qcow2 disk files, on a CentOS 7 hypervisor,
from 70G each in one libvirt storage pool to 150G each in another pool.
Because my ASUS PN50 running MythTV was initially installed with F32 and I routinely DNF System Upgrade, it has been running F34 for a while now.
The main reason for this post is that the infrared receiver and watchdog seem to finally work.
These are my notes on installing a second hand Lenovo ThinkPad T480 (20L6) for a relative of mine.
This is my braindump on setting up:
This is my braindump of shrinking the existing 1TB LVM cache (on a Samsung 960evo) to half size and using the freed up space to host qcow2 files used by our OpenShift 4 VMs
A community build of Sailfish OS 3.4 for the Pro1 was released a month ago and I finally got around to flashing it.
These are my installation notes.
NOTE: DO NOT OTA UPDATE FROM 3.3 YOU MUST REFLASH
